Ha, I don't need that s@#%, for I have a +5 Mother of Doing Everything. No disrespect to women, but she seems to enjoy the cleaning as much as she does complaining about the cleaning...
Mine too...hey, you ever get that thing where she'll complain until you clean something then go right back over it because apparently it wasnt' clean enough? drives me insane. why even ask me to clean anymore?

This reminds of a strange NPC we met in an adventure once. I believe it was Greymalkin Academy, where there was this Monk who was the custodian of the school, who didn't know anything about the school, rarely spoke, and followed us around attacking people using his mop as a quarterstaff.
I hope never to see that character again.
He was pretty good with that mop, though...

Disclaimer: Except the kitchen. If he cleaned it I wouldn't be able to find anything. This way I can keep it just on the right side of chaos.
Odd. I figured more men out there would sell their souls for infinite brownies and cookies.

Is this necessary?
Actually, since I am the stay-at-home dad and do all the damn chores anyway, it would be pretty cool to get some XP and gold to build up a character for doing it. And I have heroically cleaned the toilets in my house many times using Two-weapon-scrubbing and a Potion of Disinfection.
No Toilet to dirty! No carpet to soiled! Fear me cleaning with products and muscles all oiled! FAL-DOR-AAAAAA!!!!

I don't think I can get my wife to join, but this is fun and silly, my kinda game. I made it a favorite and now I just need to get a couple of others like me to sign up as a competition instead of a "party". Anyone interested in competative chore wars?
Howsabout it Fake Healer? You'll have the advantage because you're a stay at home dad, but I think I do enough to give you a run for your money.

They are certainly out there - cake and pie also works well.
To the OP, it might not be "necessary," but making chores fun has always been a parenting tactic. I believe the esteemed Messrs. Gabe and Tycho also postulated that it might work on roommates.

I would but I can barely keep up with my PBP games, I can't imagine trying to do a MMORPG of Clean. I will have to think about it but I am gonna add it to my favs so I will let you know if I do.

It's not a MMORPG its just a RPG, you create a "team" I was thinking three or four of ourselves and we'd call our team paizonians, as far as I can tell it just stays between the team and levels up and gets items. I don't know I'll learn more if you and a few more people jump on, c'mon no one else wants to be a paizonian in the chore wars?

Fine! I'll join tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now. Just finished my HW, and I'm tired. Give me the team password and consider it done.
Meh, me too. If I start losing I can always talk about my 3 hours of driving a day to get the kids to school and stuff related to my Autistic son.
I'm in. Now what do I do?

Okay I've set up a group account with me as DM but what I'm going to do is when you guys join I'll set you to be able to create chores for the list. I think quests will be weekly resets, I.E only the first person each week to do it gets the cred. I will also randomly reset them (and I promise not to reset them on the day I plan to do them) that way you can have "drive loved one to appointment" as an adventure people can get credit for. Obviously this will have to be light hearted and on the honor system since we all have such different lives (no children, married me) we can also e-mail each other to figure out things to do with our gold and if we have fun with it, someone can upgrade to the gold account (it's a one time $10 fee and it covers the whole group so hell even I might be able to afford to do it) Anywho the group name is Paizonians and the access code is c462dab3d833. Once we have members and a solid group and you guys can add some chores if you think of them.

If you write an adventure please keep it generic enough that anyone can complete it. So driving son to soccer practice is out, but you could have Driving loved one to appointment is in. Also try to keep monsters and treasure related to the chore but funny like in paying bills the toughest monster to fight is Death (and taxes), and the treasure is +700 credit scre :)

So today I did dishes and it turns out I fought the plague. the plague sucks in combat, it fled after missing again and again and again.
I signed up and joined. I claimed the 'Paid the Piper' one because I did bills today, it was uneventful. Then I claimed 'Mowing the outer lands' because I did just that, and it gave me an encounter with an ant swarm which I had in real life! They were swarming my porch steps and I had to spray them with Raid because I was worried about them making their way into the house. Pretty cool. We should start a separate thread for discussions of the game.
Better watch it, I have a day of ceiling fan cleaning, cleaning the dishes, and fixing a lockset on my door tomorrow and I am working on clothes(they usually take 2-3 days, I'm finished day 1).

Damn man, working to fast for me. I set your account to henchling which means you'll be able to create and edit adventures. I just made some up off the top of my head. Please add some more tonight so that tommorow I can wrack me up some XP.

It's almost 1am here so I gotta bed down but I will think up a few to toss into the mix and post them tomorrow during the day (probably around 10am-1pm EST).

You too?
It's amazing, since we got our son's diagnosis, how many people I know have a child or relative with a similar condition. Maybe I just keep my ears open and notice it more.What would be the fantasy world parallel of laying bathroom floor tiles? I've cut round the crapper and everything.
